Ok, me and dh went yard saleing today and I got over excited because finally I came upon one that had some crochet/knit stuff. Well, in my over excitement I bought things that were in a bag and now, honestly I have no idea what to do with them. (all pics clickable)

This is in mostly the small squares on the right. It's knitted. I got a bag full of them. Have no clue what to do with them.

This box of buttons I'm very happy with. $2 for it and there are so many cool buttons in there......

Now these I just love. They're thread and so pretty. There are 8 of them and I don't know what to do with them either. Any help would be appreciated.....any.

I also got a bunch of 4" grannies too that I'm sure I can figure out something to do with them.

He is my input...Or My two cents..

  1. Looks like they were going to be squares for an afghan. The little piece is 4 per bigger square.
    Do you have enough for an afghan?
  2. I have two big tins full of buttons. Great find..
  3. To me it looks like pieces to a doily in progress.. Very pretty..


I never find anything yarn related..

That's awesome! I love it when I make finds like that (not too often). You can't even hardly get one pair of buttons for $2, what a deal! The squares do look like a doily/runner in progress, the big ones, I don't know? Congratulations!

this pattern is great for making a necklace with buttons I made it once myself.


Kind of blurry

What a deal!

Are there enough of the knitted pieces to make an afghan?

The purple ones would look great as a table runner or doilies.

Of course, we all need buttons for various projects. That was a great buy!
